Tbilisi

After a fraught journey involving Turkish Airlines losing the booking for one of the group, we made it to Istanbul and then to Tbilisi.

Western Turkey looks like Europe but Central and Eastern Cappadocia do not. Even modern houses look very different. Tbilisi looks like an industrial town in France. Lots of concrete high rise and factories. We are staying in the old town and that looks French too. Tomorrow I will report on the guided tour. I strongly suspected we are going to have lots of Byzantine frescoes and chapels in caves. And a lot of walking up and down hills. Well I did have a complete rest today.
